#WengerOut came back to haunt Arsenal manager last night

The Premier League’s opening game saw Leicester travel to Arsenal, and for Gunners fans things started with a stirring optimism.

Despite pressure on him at the end of last season, Arsene Wenger signed a new two-year contract and signs like this could be seen in the crowd as the match began.

Things only got better, too, as it took the Gunners’ £55 million record signing Alexandre Lacazette, 26, just a minute-and-a-half to score on his Premier League debut.

However, the Premier League is ever full of surprises and a goal from Shinji Okazaki just three minutes later, followed by a Jamie Vardy goal 15 minutes before half-time, soon turned the game on its head.

And almost immediately, with the help of a certain high-profile journalist Gooner, that old saying came back to haunt the 67-year-old Frenchman.

The fiercely entertaining game undoubtedly revealed both weaknesses and strengths in Arsenal’s side – but it’s early days and the result certainly won’t win them the league in the same way it won’t lose it for Leicester.

One thing is clear though, the Premier League is back. And it’s back with a bang.

Barcelona general manager Pep Segura has said the signings of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele are "close" after watching his side lose to arch-rivlas Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana final.
